Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about how the alarms work, setting up SOS, orders and delivery.
Product
How do I activate the alarm?
Pull the pin out of the device. As soon as the pin is pulled, the alarm sounds.
How do I stop the alarm?
Push the pin back into the device. This stops the alarm and resets it, ready for next time.
How loud is the alarm?
The siren is 130 dB, with a flashing light.
Do I need a phone for the alarm?
No. Pulling the pin sounds the alarm on both models. Ziva doesn't use a phone or an app at all. Ziva+ adds Bluetooth so it can also trigger your phone's built-in Emergency SOS.
What battery does it use and how do I charge it?
Both models have a rechargeable 200 mAh silicon-carbon battery. Charge it with the included USB-C cable.
Can I test the alarm?
Yes. Test it briefly in a suitable place, hold it away from your ears, and let people nearby know first. Push the pin back in to stop it.
SOS
What does Ziva+ do?
Ziva+ is the same pull-pin alarm as Ziva, plus Bluetooth. Pull the pin and the 130 dB alarm sounds straight away. When Ziva+ is paired with your iPhone or Android phone, it also triggers your phone's built-in Emergency SOS, which then does what you've set up in your phone's settings.
The Ziva Safe app isn't available yet. We'll announce it here when it is. No subscription, ever.
Does the device call emergency services or send my location?
No. Ziva+ itself doesn't call anyone, send messages or share your location. It triggers your phone's built-in Emergency SOS over Bluetooth, and your phone carries out the actions you've set up. What happens depends on your phone, its Emergency SOS settings, SIM and network.
Is there a subscription?
No. There's no subscription for Ziva or Ziva+, ever.
What do I need to set up first?
Turn on Emergency SOS in your phone's settings and add your emergency contacts. Then pair Ziva+ with your phone over Bluetooth, following the user manual in the box. Our setup guide walks you through it.
Compatibility
Which phones are supported?
Ziva+ pairs with iPhone and Android phones that have Bluetooth and a built-in Emergency SOS. What your phone does when SOS starts depends on its model and settings. Not sure about your phone? WhatsApp us your phone model on +92 335 0383786.
Do I need an app?
No. The Ziva Safe app isn't available yet. Today, Ziva+ works with your phone's built-in Emergency SOS, which you set up in your phone's settings. Ziva doesn't use a phone or an app at all, and on both models pulling the pin sounds the alarm without a phone.
What if Bluetooth is off or my phone isn't nearby?
The SOS step needs Bluetooth on and Ziva+ paired with your phone and nearby. If they aren't connected, your phone's Emergency SOS can't be triggered. The alarm still sounds when you pull the pin.

Warranty
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Ziva and Ziva+ come with a 6-month replacement warranty for device faults, counted from the day your order is delivered. If your alarm stops working properly with normal use in that time, email support@zivasafe.com or WhatsApp us on +92 335 0383786 with your order number, and we'll arrange a replacement.
What does the warranty cover?
Faults in the alarm itself under normal use, for example if the siren, light, button or battery stops working as it should. It doesn't cover physical damage, such as from accidents, drops or water, misuse, or devices that have been opened. See our refund and warranty policy for details.
